Creating community for law firms and legal marketers
Holding Court | Legal Masterminds
Community and support in the marketing world can be hard to come by – especially in specific industries.
That’s why we set up our Holding Court | Legal Mastermind series to provide a safe space for legal marketers to connect.
What are legal masterminds?
Each month, we invite a select group of legal professionals into our office for a private morning of insightful discussion, networking, and expert-led learning.
Over breakfast, attendees have the opportunity to engage in open, Chatham House-style conversations, where they can air challenges, share experiences, and gain valuable support from peers.
Who leads the sessions?
The sessions are led by our marketing team who devise each event to ensure a balance of peer-to-peer problem-solving and high-value digital marketing insights tailored to the legal industry.
You will be joined by different members of our team each time, depending on the topic of the mastermind.
Three strands of legal masterminds
Due to its success, Holding Court | Legal Mastermind now operates across four different streams:
- Colchester Office Sessions: Our original, in-person mastermind sessions held at our Colchester office.
- Virtual Series: An online version of Holding Court, enabling legal professionals to participate remotely.
- London Masterminds: Coming soon! A new series of in-person sessions designed for London-based firms.
What to expect
- Breakfast and Networking: Start the morning with coffee, pastries, and meaningful conversations with like-minded legal professionals.
- Chatham House Discussions: A safe, confidential space to discuss business challenges and exchange solutions with industry peers.
- Expert Digital Marketing Insights: Each session features a focused presentation from one of our Footprint Digital experts on key topics such as: Email Marketing for Law Firms; SEO & Legal Keyword Strategy; Paid Media for Legal Services; Using LinkedIn to Generate Leads; Digital Sustainability in the Legal Sector.
Clare Waller, Partner – Commercial & Corporate, Outsourced General Counsel, Spencer West LLP
‘Transitioning from an in-house General Counsel role to a private practice legal consultant, I faced the challenge of building a strong client base without prior experience in marketing or business development.
I was introduced to Sarah Sanderson, Head of Growth at Footprint Digital through a trusted contact and decided to join their Holding Court sessions. What stood out was their holistic and lawyer-specific approach to digital marketing, combined with the valuable opportunity to engage with fellow Holding Court members, share experiences, and explore practical strategies.
Choosing to work with Footprint Digital has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The course has equipped me with a solid grounding in business development and digital marketing, which is helping me grow from a start-up legal practice to consistently attracting new clients. The monthly Holding Court sessions, both virtual and in-person, along with ongoing access to the Shoot the HiPPO course, have proven to be incredibly beneficial.
I’ve recommended Footprint Digital to several colleagues already. If you’re a lawyer looking for focused planning, practical marketing support, and a proven path to grow your practice, I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like to hear more about my experience. I’m always happy to share what’s worked for me.’
